my fiancee actually was encouraging me to do the car. she approved of all the mods and actually bought me dinner while i worked. kinda helps i own my own shop so she knows i won't screw it up... she likes the sound of the exhaust, intake and she likes the semi finished product as much as i do. lucky me i guess. hooray me! hooray beer!

 

I hear ya man, after 26 years of marriage I don't even tell her anymore because I get the same exact reaction!! She went with me when I first looked at my TL, I bought it later on and she said I got it because the seats bother her back and that why I got it, because she can't ride in it. I'm like WTF!! I got it because I love the car!! A few pillows and her back will be fine!!!

 

must be hard to get a hummer from a lady that complains about the interior comfort of our cars, good thing you did'nt buy a smaller car or she would be on your ass about that too...

 

Well, they are both round!

 

It's a timeless issue!

Went through the same thing with my wife. She says that she doesn't understand why I bought a new car just to replace parts on it.

Of course she does admit she doesn't mind the stares our car gets either.

 

Sounds about right...

 

the reason why to love the wife even more. hahaha

 

HA,,,

You should have gone bigger maybe she would have noticed..........

But i guess they are both metal and round with black stuff around them.. HA

 

LOL OMG!!!
My wife actually likes the sound...when I punch it to hear it, she smiles...gotta love that
Thanks for the laughs!

 

that is AMAZING. i can totally appreicate. i am one of the few girl car lovers!

 

ya right. such things dont exist. you mean girl, car lover

 

In my pre-TL days, my ex used to always bitch about why I needed a fast car and she hated racing and all that crap. When I got an out of town job, I started driving her 4 banger Eclipse to work and let her drive the GN since it was only a mile from the house. I always took the wastegate rod off the turbo which took it from 450hp to ~160hp. We had an appointment one night and she was late getting home from work so I was waiting for her outside. I jumped into the driver seat when she pulled up and drove off. Once I hit the gas I realized the turbo wastegate was hooked up and she was making full boost. After questioning her, she admitted that she had watched me pull the rod off and figured out how to pop it back on and had been doing this the whole time and had even raced some of the ricers that worked with her. She never complained about my racing anymore.

 

hAHAHAHA

 

good story. my wife doesn't even ask anymore, she just says, "the guy from UPS dropped of another box for you today...."

 

hahahah

 

Guys, are you paying for the cars are or your wives paying?? I don't understand why they should have any say at all. You gotta train your females better gents.

 

i be like.. biatch! i paid for the car i do what i want~! now gimme some sugar


or id find a wife that approves modding and likes modding cars herself. and buy me mods for holidays and my birthday....

mmm that would be nice

good story tho

 

thread resurrection!!!!!

Dont have a wife, but the ex-girlfriend, loved rolling to restaurants and clubs esp. when people turn heads to see what it is.....

 

lol yah way to bring back an old thread lolololol

as much as i like the sound from the Spacers, Aznbo stg 3, and Cai, my gf gets really embarrassed - it attracts too much attention

 

HEY!! MMADE22, YOU READING THIS????

 

^his wife doesn't appreciate/notice the mods at all, I assume?

 

No. I called mmade22 today to ask about his CAI (could it be heard at low rpm and at idle) and to enlist his help for an install.

He SWORE my wife would never notice.

I just thought this thead was timely given the earlier phone conversation.

FWIW - I don't think *his* wife cares one way or the other. Lucky Bastard.

 

Dude I got away with the SC and NOS and still in the clear. Though she did hear a slight bit of whine once, formally I had the AEM intake which she new so just said it was that. Sometimes woman being gulable is a good thing and sometimes a bad. Trust me like my buddy told me once very few women have both common sence and book smarts normally just one but not both. That's cool thugh my car had about 20,000 but is 04 so warranty was out, you could always remove CAI and put factory back on if you had major problem, only thing I would worry about is if you have a manual to not mis shift.

 

Haha, that's a great story. I think we've all been there before.

 

Funny story!

 

LMAO

It was funny I must say

 

 

Hahaha great story I can relate too, my probation officer doesn't like me to spend too much $$$. I basically try to hide everything but I work evenings and get off at 11pm and that stupid UPS dudes always deliver at 7pm (when I'm not home uuugh). If its left at the front door I grab it quickly and hide it in garage. I install my toys when shes at the mall or wallyworld hehehe.

 

I must be lucky, my wife just says "hey when are we racing this thing?"

 

You guys are so whipped! LOL

 

That is one hell of a funny story! I read it to my wife and I gotta a shizzy grin from her because it sounds just like her and I!

 

My Fiance bought me tein ss without me knowing for valentines day... I think I got a winner

 

I let my wife know upfront about all expensive upgrades, in the past 12 years, she has always given me the nod each and every time so no need to duck and cover, happy wife, happy life....trust is the key to a life-long marriage.

Awesome story....... My wife says the car is mine so I can do whatever I want with it. Hmmm what to do next?

 

haha. Very funny stuff. I remember when I put the full exhaust, deletes yadayada and I started the car in the garage and pulled it out while she was standing outside. She goes "did you do something to your car?".. I was like "no why' She follows up with "cuz it sounds like shit...and it STINKS" So I knew I did a good thing.

 

I show my girlfriend all my mods-I get excited about them, so I want her to see them. She doesn't give a hard time, but I'm not spending a ton of $$$ on mods though. I think the biggest purchase was $265 for the Carbon Fiber Interior Kit and $200 for the LED interior lighting. She seems to like them.

 

Thats the difference between a GF and a Wife.

 

This thread is great

 

Hey Burbs, why do you have 2 pictures of the same wheel???
